A Surprise to Both Parties.


The editor Of The Democrat pur-
chased season tickets of W. j.
Smith for the course OF lectures
which are being delivered at the
Opera House in this city. A brace
of darkies also purchased season
tickets for the course of lie ;tures
and it so happened that their seals
were in the Immediate nelghbcr-
hood OF those reserved by the
editor of the Democrat. This
week the editor went to Manager
Smith, and complained of the
close proximity of the darkies,
when he was informed that the
darkies had been there in advance
of him and threatened that if the
editor of the Democrat was moi
removed to- another part of the
building they would withdraw
from the lecture course.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Margaret Collop died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Sarah E. Metcalf, Jan. 10Th, 1887.
Our mother was born in West Vir-
ginia, Dec. 2Sth, 1885, and was
married to Peter Collop, whose
death preceded hers some thirty
one years. Leaving her child
hood home she accompanied him
to Missouri, then considered the
far west. They settled first in
Pike county and afterward settled
in Adair county, in the year 1853.
She was a consistent and devoted
member of the Baptist church for
many years, but united with the
NJ. E. church, south, and lived
devoted christian until her master
called her home. 4 sufferer for
many years, she bore her suffer
ings patiently to the last, saying
that "all things worketh together
for good to them that love the
Lord" Loving hands did all that
could be done for the relief of our
precious mother, but the death
angel claimed her for his own.
her last words were, "my home,
sweet home, my long sought
home, oh, how 1 long to be there
What calm and peaceful ending
to Cody life! What comfort
ing thought for bereaved children
and grandchildren to treasure in
their hearts. Ripened in years
and fully prepared for another
state of existence, she has gone
home to enjoy the reward of a life
well spent on earth, to join the
loved ones gone before. Kind
hands tenderly shrouded our dear
mother and carefully performed
the last sad rites. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Rev. l. S.
Williams, and a large number of
relatives and friends followed the
remains to the Fort Madison GEN.
etery. Weep not deeply bereaved
ones, the cold, dark grave holds
not the sainted spirit of our mother
Dearest mother thou hast left us.
And thy loss we deeply feel
But It's God that hath bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is ned
Then in heaven with joy 70 greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed

Wednesday morning between
eight and nine o'clock a difficulty
occurred at the residence of Leo
pold Finding, in which Joseph
Finding aud Frank Barker were
the principals. The cause of the
qaarrel was debt, which Find
ling claimed Barker owed him.
From words they came to blows
which finally resulted in Barker
drawing a revolv er, of cheap pat
tern, and shooting Finding in the
the left breast. The ball glanced
and ranged round to the left side
where it lodged. Barker was ar
rested and placed in jail to await
the result of the shooting.
The wound is dangerous one
but not necessarily fatal.

A Card From D. L. Moody.

To Ny FRIKDs: Upon recent ex-
animation of the operations of
the American Sunday School
Union, | am more than ever con-
vinced that there is no work that
brings quicker and larger results
from the same expenditure than
this. [ therefore recommend and
urge all my friends to give it their
liberal and hearty moral and
financial support, for it is doing
more for the neglected children of
our land than any other agency in
existence, and with great success.
d. l.. MOODY.
NoTE.-There are two ways to
aid the work of this truly benevo-
lent society, which for many years
has done 4 great work in our state
First, prompt and liberal contribu.
tions. These are much needed te
carry on the work. Second, by
patronizing it's excellent, bea uti-
full, and abundant literature.
